; It said Ethiopia had not the
right to invoke her right under the
' League’'s pact because “she has mot
'responded to the conditions which
the pact itself demanded as essen
tial for membership.” It charged
Ethiopia. with four specific kinds
of violations of Italo-Ethiopian re
| lationships.
. “Nor are other members of the
League bound to obsreve the rules
’nf the covenant,” the memoran
dum said, toward a member which
had placed herself outside the pact
through violation of engagements
assumed.
The violations charged with:
“‘Ethiopiar refusal to define
frontiers with Italian colonies. re
sulted in the consequently illegal
occupation of Italian territories by
Ethiopia;
“Continual offense against the
irnmunity of Italian diplomatic ana
consular representatives in Ethin\i
pia; |
“Permanent offense against thr-l
lives and goods of Italian citizensi
living in Ethiopia, who were pre-‘
verted from developing ecnomoic!
enterprises of any mature whatso
‘ever; i
“Offenses and attack against the
lives and goods of Italian citizens’
even on Italian territories themn
selves.”
The memorandum bhegan by
pointing out the “loyalty and ben
evolence with which the Tltalian
gcvernment has treated Ethiopia.
I* cited the instance that it was
Ttaly which furnished Ethiopia
with most of her armaments up to|
the treaty of 1930. |

ADDIS ABABA ~—(#)— Members
of the Ethiopian government ap
peared nonplussed today when in
formed that the Standard Vacuum
oOil company had withdrawn from
its Ethiopian concessions on rep
resentations by the State depart
ment of the United States. They
declined immediate comment.
| Observers here assumed that the
United States government wished
to avoid being drawn into the al
ready acutely delicate political sit
uation which has arisen between
this nation and Italy and that
Washington wished to avoid com
promising the American relation
ship with Ttaly.
Emperor Haile Selaissie was not
immediately informed of the can
cellation.
Ethiopian women armed with
spears, daggers and rifles volun
teered as warriors for Emperor
Haile Selassie’s army today.
Far more fanatical in their pat
riotism than the men and com
pletely under the influence of the'
clergy, the women were not con
tent to serve merely as nurses and
munitions bearers. ‘
In past wars, in accordance with
an old Ethiopian custom, wives of
chieftains who went to the front:
accompanied them as female serv-l
ants, their duty to “comfort” their
warrior husbands. |
Extraordinary precautiong at-i
tended the arrival in Djibouti of
150 Sepoys (natives of Italy) who
are now traveling by train to Addisi
Ababa to reinforce the guard of!
the British legation. Although the
ship arrived at Djibouti #n the|

Joe Davis, of Lumpkin county, said

the cancellation “another - proot
that since March 4, 1933, dollar
diplomacy is not recognized by the
American government.”
Talking with mewspapermen at
the regular semi-weekly presscon
ference the president observed
that by no stretch of the imagina
tion had he or the Secretary of
State been the least concerned
over the possibility of the oil
lease to private interests in this
country and Great Britain invnlv-i
ing the U. 8. in the Ethiopian or
Italian problem. :
He said that no one who knows
the administration would think
that it could be involved. The only
danger, he said, would be the ef
fect of the lease on the negotia
tions of the European powers and
Ethiopia now getting under way
at Geneva. |
The withdrawal of the lease he
hoped would clear the air of those
conferences.
“This is another proof,” he
stated, “that since March 4, 1933,/
dollar diplomacy is not recognized |
by the American government.”
Cancellation of the lease was an=
nounced last night by Secretary

Four Missing Players Now On H;na
Bulldogs Sent Through Light Drill
Creene Is Last Player to
Report; Players Don Pads
For Workout Today
By GUY TILLER, JR.
Only a light workout was held
this morning by the Georgia Bull
dogs with the main emphasis being
placed on brushing up on signals
and formations. Coach Mehre an
nounced that the morning drills
would be largely devoted to walk
ing through the plays and signal
practice. The heavy work comes
in the afternoon,
With Green, Hall, Milton, and
Jones reporting yesterday afters
neon all of the players are mow
here and ready for work. All four
are in camparatively good shape
although Hall has been ill lately.
Green arrived a bit after practice
was underway and the players
gove him quite”an ovation, claps
ping, laughing, and passing off fun
at him. Seemingly delighted with
the reception, the blonde back
smiled, shook hands with the
coaches and players; and then be
@an punting practice. The Texan
showed no ill effects of the sum
mer and was sending long spirals
downfield with great consistency.
Green, along with. Alls Andersomn,
John Bond, Andy Roddeberry, and
Bill Hartman, was passing expert
ly during the morning drill today.
Coach Mehré sees a fine chance for
GGecrgia to have a versatile air at
tack this fall and is stressing the
value of correct passing. Charlie
Harrold, Forrest Townes, Hugh
O'Farréll, Otis Maffett, and Henry
Wagnon were receiving the aerialt
thrusts with ease. All are flank
men and from this group “Catfish”
Smith should be able to afford the
“pitchers” with good “catchers.”
Alec Ashford and Leroy Moore
head were on the “first” team to
day during signal drill. The first
team called out by Mehre consis
ted to Ashford and Wagnon, ends;
Harmanand Shi, tackles; Moore
head and Johnson, guards; Mc-
Knight, center; Roddenberry,
guarterback; Bond and Minot,
halfbacks; and Green, fullback.
All are lettermen save Roddenber
ry, who was acting in the place of
Charlie Treadway. Treadway is
still recuperating from a tonsil |
cperation and is net doing much
work.
Another combination included
Maffett and Troutman, ends;
(iatchell and Milton, tackles; Tin
sley and Hall, guards; B. Law,
center: Young. quarterback; An
derson and Jones, halfbacks; and
tHartman, fullback. Harold and
lownes, ends; Havgood and Geer,
tackles; Leebern and W. A. Law,
guards; Stone, center; O’Malley,
quarterback: Causey and G.
Johnson, halfbacks, and Hollis,
fullback, formed the third eleven.
It is very likely that the Bull
dogs wil don regulation 'equlp
ment this afternoon for a lengthy
drill. However, only light work is
on schedule as it is only the sec
ond day. The exact date for the
first scrimmage has not been se
lected and Coach Mehre stated
that the time for the first skirm
ish would depend on the develop
ment of the squad. 5
